    Good quote: On social being and social consciousness
    • Social being and social consciousness are not identical, in exactly the same way as being in general and consciousness in general are not identical. From the fact that people, entering into communication, enter into it as conscious beings, it in no way follows that social consciousness should be identical with social being. Entering into communication, people in all somewhat complex social formations - and especially in the capitalist social formation - are not aware of what social relations are formed in this case, according to what laws they develop, etc. For example, a peasant, selling grain, enters into "communion" with world grain producers in the world market, but he is not aware of this, he is also unaware of what social relations are formed from exchange. Social consciousness reflects social being - this is what Marx's teaching consists.

      Reflection can be approximately a true copy of the reflected, but it is absurd to talk about identity here. Consciousness generally reflects being — this is the general position of all materialism. It is impossible not to see its direct and indissoluble connection with the position of historical materialism: social consciousness reflects social being.

    MAGA: Big fertility drop, death is all around
    • image

      Chart shows that 2008 crisis is still going and accelerating even.

      The provisional number of births for the United States in 2020 was 3,605,201, down 4% from the number in 2019 (3,747,540). This is the sixth consecutive year that the number of births has declined after an increase in 2014, down an average of 2% per year, and the lowest number of births since 1979.

      The provisional general fertility rate (GFR) for the United States in 2020 was 55.8 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44, down 4% from the rate in 2019 (58.3), another record low for the nation.

    War: Youtube - if you are not funny, we replace you with mainstream propaganda
    • What we’ve done is really fine-tune our algorithms to be able to make sure that we are still giving the new creators the ability to be found when it comes to music or humor or something funny

      But when we’re dealing with sensitive areas, we really need to take a different approach.

    War: Sakhalin and global warming scam
    • According to research by Professor, Doctor of Geographical Sciences A.M. Korotkikh (Pacific Institute of Geography, Far East Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences), about a million years ago Sakhalin was occupied by dark coniferous spruce - fir taiga and mixed forests with pine, oak, elm, hornbeam, beech, yew, magnolia, ginkgo and other thermophilic plants. The climate was subtropical. The average annual air temperature was about + 8C.

      Then, about 800 years ago, an intense cooling began. It lasted 250 thousand years. The western part of the island had been occupied by small-leaved alder-birch forests. Larch-birch forest-tundra has formed on the eastern coast. In the south of the island, sparse birch-larch forests appeared. The average air temperature in July did not exceed + 10C, in January it was -20-23C, and the average annual temperature dropped to -6 C. Permafrost appeared, spreading to the south of the island.

      Another warming began 550 thousand years ago. On the western coast of the island, coniferous-deciduous forests began to grow again with the participation of hornbeam, beech, hemlock. The climate was warm and humid: the average temperature of the year was + 6C, January to -6C, July to + 19C.

      This grace stretched for 250 thousand years until a new cold snap. It was very significant. The island was occupied by birch-larch forests, in the north with areas of forest-tundra and permafrost. The average annual air temperature dropped to -5C, in January to -23C, and in July - only to + 14C. the average annual sea water temperature has become 10-12 degrees lower than the present one.

      The paleotemperatures of sea water are determined by the presence of diatom shells in bottom sediments. These microscopic unicellular algae have bizarre siliceous (opal) shells resembling porous spheres with spiked rays or flat (feathery) formations, also with thorns. The colder sea water is, the more carbon dioxide is dissolved in it, which is necessary for diatoms to produce carbohydrates. They flourish both quantitatively and qualitatively - a variety of species.

      In the interval 230-200 thousand years ago, the climate again became warmer than the modern one. The average annual temperatures of the surface layer of sea water exceeded the modern ones by 2-3 C.

      The alternation of warm and cold periods continued, although there was no influence of human economic activity: there was no intake of carbon dioxide into the air, creating a "greenhouse effect," from thermal power plants and automobiles.

      200-130 thousand years ago, a new cold snap came to Sakhalin. The average annual temperature dropped to -5C, in January -30C, in July only + 12C. Surface sea water temperature dropped by 7C to subarctic conditions.

      After that, it warmed up to 95 thousand years ago: the average annual air temperature was + 5-6C, in January only -4C, in July - up to + 20C. The average annual sea water temperature was 13-15 C, which corresponds to the current temperature in the Sea of ​​Japan at 39-40 north latitude.

      The beginning of a new cold snap lowered the average annual temperature by ten degrees, amounting to -5C. In the north, the land was occupied by shrub-herbaceous plants (sedges, grasses), and from trees - larch, birch, alder, dwarf cedar. Tundra, forest-tundra, permafrost appeared.

      Intense warming began 10.5 thousand years ago. And although there were slight cold snaps, in general, the climate was established close to the modern one with an average annual air temperature in the south of the island of +2C.

      With an increase in the temperature of seawater, part of the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, and with a decrease in the temperature of seawater, carbon dioxide, on the contrary, dissolves in water, with a decrease in its content in the air. It is not carbon dioxide that causes climate warming, but, on the contrary, climate warming leads to an increase in the content of CO2 in the atmosphere.

      Big repressions of scientific prostitutes can save the planet, this is for sure.

    War: Nvidia and MSI can stand behind crypto scam promotions
    • Motherboard and graphics card maker Micro-Star International (MSI) has reported net profits climbed 109.3% sequentially and 233.5% on year to a record high of NT$4.17 billion (US$149.2 million) in the first quarter of 2021.

      Some market observers expect MSI's profits in first half of 2021 to surpass those of whole-year 2020 and should see staggering on-year growths for whole-year 2021.

      Rumors in the bloggers space is that all GPU cards manufacturers very much like if their puppets support crypto scam and promote it by telling viewers how nice profits they can get. In revers - if you try to blame it and clearly tell that it is scam you will be excluded from the guys getting test samples.

    War: One of key Nichia patents fell
    • LED packaging service provider Everlight Electronics has disclosed it has won a patent lawsuit in China, where its Supreme People's Court recently dismissed an appeal filed by Japan-based Nichia to claim validity of its YAG patent in the country.

      The Beijing Intellectual Property Court in China invalidated the patent CN200610095837.4 in May 2019. Nichia then appealed to the supreme court.

      The US Supreme Court, the High Court of Australia and the Taiwan Supreme Administrative Court have invalidated Nichia's YAG patents in the respective countries.

      Everlight is expanding ultraviolet and infrared LED packaging capacity by about 30%, with the additional capacity to gradually come into operation in the second and third quarter of 2021.

      Slowly, but steadily.
